The alternative seems ineluctable: either the [[Mother]] or the [[Father]]. To choose the [[Mother]] means to be condemned to the dependency of [[demand]], while the [[Father]] constitutes the access to [[desire]], hence to salvation. If the [[Father]] must be preferred to the [[Mother]], if the [[Father]] is the origin and the [[representative]] of [[culture]] (and of the [[Law]]), it is because he possesses the [[phallus]] that he can give or refuse. The absolute primacy of the [[phallus]] - the single emblem of Man - has become a [[real]] doctrinal (perhaps dogmatic) basis of [[Lacanian]] [[theory]]: "The [[phallus]] is the [[signifier]] of [[signifier]]s, the privileged signifier of that mark in which the [[role]] of the [[logos]] is joined with the advent of [[desire]]," its function "touches on its most profound rapport: that in which the Ancients embodied the <i>Nous</i>, the [[Mind]], and the <i>Logos</i>, [[discourse]], [[reason]]." Why such a privilege? "This [[signifier]] is chosen as the most tangible element in the real of [[sexual]] copulation; it is the most [[symbolic]] in the literal sense," since "it is equivalent to the [[logical]] copula." Moreover, "by virtue of its turgidity, it epitomizes the [[image]] of the vital flow as it is transmitted in generation." [[Freud]] says, there is only one [[libido]], [[masculine]] in [[nature]]. Later, [[Lacan]] will assert that "[[there is no such thing as sexual rapport]]," <i>[[il n'y a pas de rapport sexuel]]</i>, in the sense of proportion or relation: one sex counts for both [[sexes]]. Thus the [[phallus]] can only appear as veiled.
